Beyond 6 year old bourbon, this also includes 7, 8, and 13 year olds, hailing from Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Barrell has made a tradition of avoiding a standard formula, but what is standard is its remarkable skill at sourcing and blending. Surprisingly drinkable at this proof, sweet cornbread and jammy strawberry aromas lead to a palate rich with root beer spices and cinnamon before a finish of drying leather and cocoa. —Jeffery Lindenmuth
